Who does NIS2 apply to?
The NIS2 Directive addresses sectors already covered by NIS1 Directive, as well as some new sectors. Essentially, an organization is covered if it:
- operates in one of the (sub)sectors and types of services
- has a certain size
Note, therefore, you can also be indirectly covered by NIS2. This happens when you are a direct supplier to an organization, which comes under the NIS2.
Get NIS2 ready!
New trends create new challenges for the security of your IT and/or OT infrastructure. Axians looks for answers to the biggest concerns around cybersecurity.
A cybersecurity mindset …
It is crucial to define a continuity and security strategy tailored to each organization to respond to technological evolution, increased connectivity and linked cyber threats.
- Understand the current design of your environment from a security perspective.
- Determine the criticality of your assets.
- Identify potential weaknesses.
- Determine how to optimize perimeter and external access security.
- Prioritize actions taking into account the balance between safety, security and finances.
Impact on OT Cybersecurity
In an operational-technology (OT) environment, passive security is usually the better option. A common factor with all types of devices is that they are part of the network and all talk in terms of TCP/IP. Monitoring network traffic flows can therefore be of great value.
Axians will be happy to inform you about further details for securing your IT and/or OT infrastructure, including all the exceptions and nuances that industrial installations entail.
